house last Saturday afternoon.
Tne meeting was called to
order and addressed by Hon. Don
H. Biggers of Lubbock, who is
working with the State Agricul-
tural Department, who spoke
upon the great need of both an
elevator and bonded warehouse
in Crosbyton. In this talk he ex-

farmers were losing a large per
cent on their products by not
having some place to store it
until they were ready to sell to
the best advantage. -

Crosbyton Defeats Jayton
In Basket Ball Game.
"You don't really mean to say
those little girls are going to play
us," was heard from one of the
Jayton basket ball girls last Sat-
urday soon after she had arrived
for the game. Well, did those
little girls play those large ones?
We think so. I am sure, though
.the Crosby ton girls have never
had ^o work harder for what they
obtained, but the large girls were
defeated. Defeated by a score of
eight to four. This proves to us
beyond a doubt, that small peo-
ple are not altogether as worth-
less as some folks think.
We were sorry to have the
Jayton girls go away so disap-
pointed, because they played ■ us
such a clean, fair .game. Some
one had to lose, though we could
not. - We are sure that they, too,
Were well pleased with the fair-
ness of the game and the good
spirit with which the game was
entered and played throughout.

motto regardless of defeat or sue.

games and players; 1ft fact, we
enjoyed playing sucn people.
Schools prosper with such con-
tests, and so do giris.

but Croftbyton'? centers were

One of Our Citizens Finds Con-
ditions Better Here Than
Anywhere Wted.
Mr. A. B. Spencer, the popular
manager' of the, C B Live Stock
Co., returned Friday of last week
from a business trip through
East and North Texas, When
asked by a representative of the
Review how he found conditions
m other portions of the state in
comparison with Crosby county
pe said:
; "I find them quite different
everywhere I went from con-
ations in Crosby county and I
am gratified to say that at no
j lace I visited did I see such a
-right pro.-pect as we have on
the South Plains, and especially
n Crosby county. In East Texas
I found everything greatly-de-
moralized, and the merchants
.old me their collections were
v'ery bad —the worst in their his-
tory. The boll weevil has played
havoc with that part o* the state
md I expect to see a large influx
if immigrants from that portion
>f the state to Crosby county
ithin the next twelve months.
Jondi'ionf in the rich black land
>elt of North Texas are also very
>ad and the people of that part
f the st te have an eye on our
;ountr\ and many of them would
"nove here, too, if they could get
foot-loose from their holdings
there, . Wheat looks very bad all
long the route I traveled and no
*/nere is it as good as on the
'lains. Ii began to get better at
ulia, and the nearer I got to
r-osbyton the better it got."
Tne editor of the Review paid
.orenzo a brief business visit
.londay and while thtie ne had
..ne pleasure of meeting Mr. and
Irs. Mat Davis and came back
with them in iheir car as far as
